I was born in Red Bank, NJ, but I guess you could say I’m an army brat. I have lived all over the US, as well as in South Korea and in Canada. Moving around a lot did have an upside: I’ve met some really great people and experienced some remarkable cultures. My little family and I have now settled down in an old farming town north of Salt Lake City, Utah.

I taught myself to screen print. I use no machinery, just a knee, a foot, and my muscles to press the ink through the screen. In the meantime, I’ve grown comfortable with my little routine, so I continue to do it that way. All of my screens are stretched by yours truly, and I have a make-shift darkroom in my home giving me the ability to be spontaneous. I have yet to see the process done by the book. This is my 4th year making a living creating. I couldn't be more grateful for the talent that has enabled me to work from home and raise my own children while doing so.

All of my prints are inspired by my surroundings, by things things that are visually or texturally interesting. I might get ideas for prints from nature where i love to spend my free time, or from industrial architecture, my children, or my grandmother's curio cabinet. I enjoy using many mediums and have been recently collaborating on a jewelry line with my husband, Chauncey Evans, who is a machinist by trade. We are excited to launch our new efforts this spring. My business name, The Full Spectrum Design, encompasses all of my random creations. You may purchase my wares at art and craft shows shows all over the Wasatch Front or online at www.thefullspectrum.etsy.com.
